Ed30 - First service at 9.2k miles - WTF!!!

[pany]

I am on the long life servicing on a bog standard gti and still no reminder, even though I 'm on 16k miles. I feel left out.

An before anyone puts a slur on my character, I don't drive it like i'm driving miss daisy!!

Does seem like the ed30 is not on long life service - i'll be asking when i put mine in soon - i bet the dealer won't have a clue!. If it is long life oil id hate to think how long short life would last. Tyres now gone too so it's a double dunter this month

Just happened to see her on Graham Norton the other night.....(not a show that I usually watch....cough) She looks a little different now, more like  Jennifer Coolidge ...  Stifler's Mom  

Anyone seen TT of late ? or has he gone to Spain for the Winter?

mine's set for longlife service on the standard gti, according to a letter i received

just had it flash on screen service in 2700 miles, so roughly about 10,000 miles when it comes round, expected it to run longer before service

had it a year now, so will be roughly february / march when it gets done

kick it's arse now and again, but only when i'm in the mood to annoy other motorists!!

anybody got any rough idea on servicing costs?

Just under £27 a month for me

I went for the full monty of servicing, maintenance and tyres.

Just had my GTi serviced at 6200 miles and 11 months old. £240 (quid) JCT Wakefield. They automatically did the long life service and told me to come back in 2 years or 20,000 miles. When I reminded them that the car was a GTi they said it is the norm with GTi owners to set the service intervals to 10,000 or 1 year (time & distance). I recon this is a smart trick by VW to get all its die hard owners to cough up every year instead of 2.... great idea for making cash! There also seems to be so many configurations Time & Distance with regular oil, Time & Distance with long life oil, Long Life with blah blah blah.
My decision is this - Long life service with long life oil, by the time it is out of warranty it will be some other owners choice!

Beginning to feel left out!    Now approaching 7 months & 12000 and no service indicator yet.  Was set up for longlife which should be 18000.   Hope so cos I am going to have to fork out for some new rubber next week. Think I would prefer a sservice bill instead.

Long life service setting with long life oil = you have to drive like an OAP

Time and Distance service with normal oil = You are a cheapskate

Time and distance with long life oil = the way it should be for GTI, ED30 and R32

I guess I am too much of a Yorkshire Man.... may change my mind in 12 month time tho
